They are not referring to Harden, but they talk about the one problem with James Harden's 36ppg season.

His average during the 2018-19 season: 10 shot attempts inside the paint, 13 three-point attempts, 1 mid-range attempt

Out of 24 shots per game, leading the league in attempts, 1 out of 24 shots was from the mid-range. During the playoffs, he did 0.5 mid-range shots :lol:

thats not what he said though - Harden can create his own shot but he is just not a good 3p shooter.

Harden did not create midrange shots though.

Well, he shot 42% from mid-range during this time while Durant, Thompson, Kawhi, CJ McCollum, and Booker all attempted 4.5+ attempts per game on 45+% shooting.
